Hands-on, testing laboratories are fundamental to technical learning environments in universities. The need for modern equipment in these labs to support industry research and testing is often cost prohibitive and students and professors rely on a random collection of donated and often outdated equipment. This paper focuses on the creation of a state-of-the-art medium voltage electrical power technologies lab highlighting the design, implementation and lessons learned for a modern 5 MVA system.

“…The facility has experience working with companies ranging from small start-ups to industry leaders. NCREPT is capable of testing distributed resources under IEEE 1547 and UL 1741 standards [2] [3]. For example, NCREPT facilitated standards testing for a large 1.6 MW bidirectional back-to-back converter that acted as a grid interconnect switch and is currently installed in Manhattan, New York, USA.…”

Globally, new technological solutions are being studied and developed by researchers in the field of power and energy systems. Before these solutions can be integrated into society as marketable products, thorough testing and validation of the design must be conducted. The National Center for Reliable Electric Power Transmission (NCREPT) is a unique high-power test facility located at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR, USA. NCREPT is a 12,000-square-foot laboratory space capable of testing power levels up to 6 MVA and offers testing at both the 480 V and 13.8 kV levels. NCREPT's capabilities expand outside of the scope of simply high-power testing. NCREPT has also supported experimental testing for transportation electrification, hardware-in-the-loop, and cybersecurity applications. NCREPT has personnel with experience testing new technologies and has demonstrated its innovative approaches by being a part of four R&D 100 award-winning projects. This paper gives an extensive overview of NCREPT, highlighting its significance as a state-of-the-art testing laboratory.INDEX TERMS cybersecurity, hardware-in-the-loop, high-power test facility, measurement, medium voltage, power and energy, testing, transportation electrification, safety.
